About Me
Hi, my name is Jared Hanson. I am originally from Benicia, California but moved away to Boston to study and play football at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (Yes, contrary to popular belief MIT does have a football team.) After graduating with a BS in Computer Science I moved back to the Bay Area to work as a Software Engineer for Apple, Inc. I have a passion for innovation and technology, and my main interests are full-stack web development and entrepreneurship. Outside of technology, I love working on electronics projects, playing golf, and hanging out with my friends and family. I hope you enjoy my website!
